Holly Lewis – 1/8 time coach, Business Education Teacher, Technology Support - Oswayo Valley School District 1) As a teacher, coach and support person for technology my time is very limited to work in the classrooms with my teachers. My goals are to offer professional development, provide examples lessons/models and support my teachers in their technology needs. 2) Create a wiki with example lessons and models as well as afterschool professional development. 3) A school where students are not being lecture but creating their own learning environments with the use of technology. -- Theresa Daniels Gifted Support Teacher Title I Math Teacher Technology Integration Coach Coudersport School District


 * 1. A listing of your goals as instructional coach**:


 * My individual goals as the 21st Century Teaching and Learning Coach at Coudersport are to continue moving forward with the progress that we have made thus far in technology and strive to do my best with assisting the teachers with integrating technology into their curriculum. With the CFF funding coming to an end, we must continue the teaching, learning and technology integration.
 * Assemble a team of students to assist teachers in learning new educational tools.

Strategy - Communicate with administrative team, technology dept. and teachers. Sharing frustrations and maintaining clear concise communication. Strategy - Contact the grant writer employed by our district to see what grants are available. Seek out grants on my own for our district. Strategy - Encourage administrative team to allow for technology time between teachers. Strategy - Continue to communicate and inform them about the latest technologies available for their classroom.
 * 2. A listing of your challenges and strategies to overcome those challenges (use your collaboration with other coaches to address these challenges)**:
 * A few of the challenges that I have encountered are the connectivity.
 * Lack of funding for equipment.
 * Time to assist teachers with technology integration.
 * Time for teachers to learn new technologies and professional development.


 * 3. Assume you are successful in your efforts to help your teachers prepare students as future citizens of the world. What would your school look like?**
 * I would be able to walk down the halls of our school, peek in the classrooms and see students engaged in learning, teachers excited about their use of technology with little to no frustration with connectivity.
 * Students excited about their classes wanting to come to school everyday.
 * Teachers using the SAS and ISTE NETS and incorporating these into their lesson plans.
 * A partnership with the technology dept. and teachers.
 * A team of students assisting teachers with technology.

Ray Cope, Part Time Instructional Coach, Austin SD: My goals are to provide the best support to my staff at integrating technology into their lessons in order to increase student achievement and promote a sense of accomplishment in teachers. Another part of my goal for this is to continue to push for support to allow for the continuing growth and best education for students and staff at Austin.


 * Lisa VanGorden, 1/2 day Technology Integration Coach, Port Allegany School District. **
 * 1) **A listing of your goals as instructional coach**: My goal is to continue providing assistance to my teachers with learning how to use and integrate technology. With EETT and the need to assess students and teachers technology abilities, I am hoping to use that data to drive professional development and to develop a tech integration map for grades 6-8 to improve student performance/knowledge of technology use with the end goal of improving student engagement.
 * 2) **A listing of your challenges and strategies to overcome those challenges (use your collaboration with other coaches to address these challenges)**: Challenges include access to technology, consistent/predictable connectivity, time for sufficient training and teacher preparation. I would love for the tech integration to become a full time position that serves both the elementary and jr sr high school. For this to happen, administrative support is needed. This is the major challenge - convincing administration of the importance of such a position. This might best be done by getting into the classrooms more to team teach with the teachers along with modeling the process to the administration and showcasing the resulting student work of these efforts.
 * 3) **Assume you are successful in your efforts to help your teachers prepare students as future citizens of the world. What would your school look like?** In the future, I envision every classroom in Port Allegany to be an interactive classroom with a full set of student laptops and open internet access. Both teachers and students will be fully engaged in the exchange and creation of knowledge. Instructional coaches, in technology and literacy, will be constantly mingling and supporting teacher/student learning and a technology department that is capable in keeping up with the daily issues that continue to plague progress in tech integration.

** Robert Drabick – Galeton Area SD – Part-time Coach/Mathematics Teacher ** ** For my individual project, I composed a quick unedited photostory. I was unable to link the project to the wikispace without having to post it on the web first. ** ** My list of your goals as instructional coach ** is to continue with technology integration that was started by the CFF program. I am hopeful that the district will continue my current role into the future. Other goals are to form a group of technology student assistances, incorporate additional web tools, and increase project based lessons. There are some challenges that may come up in the future. The first challenge will be to keep the coach position ongoing. Other obstacles include where additional funding will come from for additional laptops, cameras, as well as replacement equipment in the years to come, will new future administrators have the same vision as the current administrators do, creating student leaders, increasing communications, moving to a paperless environment, changing the culture, eliminating internet blocks, allowing students to use their own equipment, and reducing the frequencies of equipment failures. The future outlook would be to become a paperless school district and get to the level of becoming a 1:1 technology school. The students and teachers working together using technology to enhance student achievement.

Julie Cochran - Otto-Eldred School District Tech Facilitator  **MY PERSONAL MISSION** **by Julie Cochran** //See completion note at bottom.//

**Tech Facilitator Goals for this year:** My goal for this school year is to redefine the implementation and training needed by our teachers and our students. As we put the devices into the teachers' and students' hands it is critical to train them for growth by using these devices.

**Tech Facilitator Career Goal** My career goal is to make my job obsolete. If teachers are well trained on current technologies, emerging technologies will be easy to learn and not require extensive training.

**JUST ONE OF THE MANY CHALLENGES...** **BARRIER** : IT personnel not fully aware of educational value of tech resources, thus not responsive enough to opening or making resources available. **BARRIER BLASTER** : Firstly, the IT person must be trained with an eye toward classroom needs. Secondly, encourage or require IT staff to “cross over” to the teacher/student point of view. This can be done in-house or by formal college training. Thirdly, if possible, hire an IT person with prior teaching experience.

**A sample training agenda to address this concern follows. It is timely since Brendan begins work in the Otto-Eldred School District Technology Department next Monday!**

As they advance through the grade levels, appropriate technologies will be formally taught and assimilated into the curriculum by elementary teachers...no more waiting until 7th Grade! At the high school, students will walk in each morning, pick up a laptop and proceed through a block schedule where a focus is on a particular subject but attendance in a particular room may not be necessary. Students can interact with content area teachers online and meet face-to-face as scheduled. Parents, teachers and administrators will communicate virtually and there will be a great deal of transparency on all fronts. Every educational professional will assist with educating every child.
